An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary film from 2006 by Al Gore. The year after it was released it was hauled in front of the UK high court, and found to be riddled with errors.

This video is about An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary film by Al Gore about climate change, global warming, carbon emissions and sea level rise. We talk through the Dimmock court case that led to a judge ruling An Inconvenient Truth was inaccurate in nine ways and changing its distribution to schools. Is An Inconvenient Truth propaganda? No, but Al Gore is making a political point in An Inconvenient Truth.
